They said Starfield was an immersive RPG experience... 

That sneak mission would have been bad 10 years ago. How they released it in that state is beyond me

These videos are hilarious but only because I didn't buy this game. If I did they would be soul crushing lmao

I’m so concerned about Elder Scrolls 6. It’s my favorite series and I don’t know if Bethesda can pull it off after this game … :(

It blows me away that people defend this game I’m a huge Skyrim and fallout fan and this is not those experiences just a huge flop by Bethesda

Some of these character models look like they were ripped right out of Oblivion and just upscaled a little bit. It's insane how outdated their engine is at this point.

That "target the engines" bit got me so confused for 5 minutes where I just carefully shot at the ship trying for it to not blow up

Your videos of Starfield have been more entertaining than the game itself. Thanks.

This game needed 4 more years of development

Biggest problem for me how many people are corporate simps these days. Look at the reviews and the sales alone on steam. Bethesda still won. People are throwing their money at them and defending this game. We are living in the worst time for gaming. They underdelivering and people are clapping. It is depressing.

My biggest problem is, this game is on the same engine as all their other games and I knew it was going to have all the same (+more) bugs, and I could have lived with all of that if it wasn’t 70$. They want to charge more for less, and take up half your hard drive just so you can jump from 1 load screen to another.

As a person who played Fallout 76, they somehow wrote worse dialogue than what's in that game

That sneak mission... ROOOOFL! Thanks for another great video.

How is it possible they had such a massive budget and we ended up with this!?! Lol

9:52 I swear that grenade throwing sound is the exact one from Fallout 4.

idk what it is about these facial animations but to me they somehow convey less emotion than fallout 3 npc's and thats really saying something.

*spends 15,000 rounds of ammunition to down a low-level enemy* Average Starfield enjoyer: 9.5/10 one of the best games of all time with some flaws.

This game really is a caricature of itself

It's not an RPG...it's one of those "choose your adventure books", but no matter what action you decide to take, it directs you to the same ending.

I would really overlook all the bugs if there was features like seamless travel, better UI, and a local map. But the bugs are just the icing on my discontent-cake

I gave it 15 hours before I uninstalled. Starfield is not for me. Great video!

Interactions with NPCs is the worst part for me. Having them just standing there staring at you.

you have to play 200 hours, then sarah gets therapy and a PHD and doest run into lockers anymore.. Keep going man!

I'm honestly surprised that all the bethesda dev staff operate in lockstep and no one has come out to be like "it's not a game studio it's a bunch of raccoons in a hype trenchcoat"

"It still fits, dad, and I love it"

I got a voucher for a free 30 day game pass when I bought a controller, so I used it to play Starfield. I found the best way to have fun is by using the command console to make me level 80 with 2 million dollars. Then I leveled all the perks for starship building and tech related to it. Now I'm flying around doing shipbuilding at the various staryards on a quest for the best ship.

Hello Veritas. Thank you for your content. I will be starting to play Starfield next week and know what to expect thanks to you. Good job for reminding the creator of the game what *progression* they made in the last 20 years 😂

You have to love loading screens to love the game aswell.

Wait a second, if I shot your engines in space? That wouldnt stop your ship? You would keep moving at the same speed, cause of inertia and space no? What kind of mandalorian physics is this?

An Indie studio by the name Hello Games can create a space game where you can openly travel from space to ground. They also give you an animated warp scene to hide the loading from traveling between systems. Yet, an AAA studio can't even do that with a $70 price tag for the game...

4:40 “it still fits dad, and I love it.” Is crazy

"Unparralled exploration" in a game about traveling around in space. I guess just hitting LRX to just fast travel everywhere really wasn't in other developers minds.

OMG I enjoyed watching this so much, even more, the irony of seeing the ad at the start was boasting all of the high ratings this game received. Never stop Veritas. You are one of the GOATs.

There will be people who generally love this game, but there is a lot out there that will defend it for no other reason other than they have spent the money on it and there is no going back.

always love ur vids V keep it up !

Good videos man, keep it up. Thanks for saving me a bunch of money on this game 😂

I honestly think that the biggest problem with Starfield, is that Starfield doesnt know what it wants to be. For a story-focused RPG its far too underdeveloped, and for a sandbox RPG it's nearly there. Them trying to go for both is why I think the game is not exploiting its full potential. Wish they abandoned the story driven part completely other than background story drops, cause the story as it is in the game is atrociously bad although it has its ups at times. Imagine if the development went into the direction of a single-player EVE online like experience. The game I think has better foundations for a more sandbox experience than for a story-driven one.

It feels like they went for quantity over quality So many different things in the game but few done well. I'm still playing and enjoying but I see tons of missed opportunities even with little stuff 1.) How come bounties don't fall off? If I stay on the other side of the galaxy for a few months, get a new ship and change my crew why does nothing change. Seems lazy to go pay at a kiosk or go to jail

i'm immersed in bugs

Love your Starfield content! Please make more! ❤

Also I see that other people love the sneak section, knew it'd be a favourite lmao

If this is Todd Howards "Opus Magnum", I don't wanna know what TES6 and FO5 are gonna be like.

At least in Freelancer you flew to a structure in orbit of the planet and then you got to see a cinematic of your specific ship model 'landing' at the spaceport that matched the planet.... Freelancer was a lot more focused on being a space flight shooter though, there was no FPS aspect to that game with the character, only with the ship.

Reached level 14, then uninstalled. I had my doubts about the game, so I went the Xbox game pass route, paying only $10. Very glad I did.

If we're rescuing Moara from being abducted by eclipse mercs and he has holed himself in the ships cockpit, that means he was the one actively attacking our ship as we approached. How does that make any sense?

oh by the way, they say that the sneak skill is affected by spacesuits so you have to take them off to sneak appropriately. . . gonna try it sometime I guess there is some kind of sneak assist armor, wish they had given us some sneak tutorial or something.

Starfield out of context goodness: "It still fits dad. And i love it."

Look like they forgot how companion are suppose to behave around a player

Kind of cool that all the Starfield guns shoot PM 9 P gzh ammo.

That's not even the worst stealth section. The game forces another one on you later, after a dialogue option makes it seem like it won't happen at all.

Weird in my game when u have to blow up the ships engines it gave me the ability to target even tho i didnt have the perk

For targeting specific components, the game gave me the perk and taught me how to use it (badly) during that mission, so maybe it glitched out for you?

Another video to remind me the 70$ is better in my pocket than spent on this.

3:04 yeah.. it fits into the orbit with the rest of them… this dude was flabbergasted at that line.

*Guns going off and bullets hitting everything around me* Me- Is somebody there?? 😅🤣😁

3:29 The guy sounded like Adam Jensen from Deus Ex to me, after googling it turns out it's indeed the same VA (Elias Toufexis).

The ending is awesome, man

It just keeps coming and coming

Bro I love your content

8:08 I almost shit my pants lauthing so hard that 007 cut, just great. Thaks V

a good video comparison of how space flight/travel should be is Elite Dangerous, some of the best physics and movement systems regarding space.

That ending tho 😂😂😂

What game is this? Looks really fun.

The look on his face says it all

Respect for your perseverance. Does not look like a game I would enjoy in this state of it. There is more immersion in chess, trackmania, EFT or any other game!

So many immersion breaking encounters

When I start "my" at work a huge Starfield add pops up On windows startup.... it's literally the background when I log in And now it's even on my home desktop. Fair advertisement really, literally in my operating system

Glad i learned to never but a game from Bethesda again

"Sam Coe disliked that." Disliked what, your concern for the child?

It gets good after 10000 hours bro I swear

So what story was Todd trying to tell?

The game only made me download no man's sky again lmao. It's crazy that we will have to wait for mods to fix this junk. I doubt they'll try like CD project red has to with its 2.0 update.

Jesus Christ the stealth mechanic is the same one from Skyrim 12 years ago and its still not fixed

now I appreciate Star Citizen's smooth transition from space, atmosphere, landing and player walking about with no cut load times... still wont play it though its "dead space" currently and not like the horror video game dead space...

twitch carrer over? coming back to youtube?

Ppl defending this stuff are way to simpin for bethesda. Yes each run is different via console/computer, however it does not matter they have been around for years and learned nothing new. Same problems and lots of bugs

Really glad I passed on this game. It looks like a nightmare.

I just don't get how you can watch this candid footage of a game being played and still defend it. So much of what's wrong with the AAA gaming industry is on full display. If you really want to support Bethesda and the future of this title (god knows it's beyond saving imo) then start giving them the tough love they should have been getting from the playbase years ago. If we keep pretending this is ok, this is what we'll get. I'm just so glad that through all this BS the indie scene has been able to shine. I'd have been off games a long time ago if AAA devs were the only ones making games.

Ight, all the way through the vid, lots of fun lol. "Mantis" mission should be a mandatory mission, game is heavily flawed, but at least Mantis rewards make it feel like actual progress. That aside, what's the sweet spot for fast travel vs seamless travel? We all hate loading screens, but personally I also get bored as hell if I'm forced to manually travel everywhere. There's WAY too many loading screens in SF, AND space travel/combat is already limited/flawed, so it's a terrible mix, but the alternative of Star Citizen manual travel everywhere... who's got time for that? or No Man's Sky (played but no expert in either game, just an emphasis on exploration). Plenty of reasons to get frustrated with Tarkov, but #1 (for me) is just the load times between gameplay. Key being GAMEPLAY, loading screens are just the worst version of unfun moments in a game. I'm personally stoked to go put another 60 hours into Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update and DLC. Starfield wash "meh" ok, and just reminded me how much better 2077 has become. At least there's still AC6, BG3, Lies of P, (hopefully) Lords of the Fallen, Phantom Liberty, and so on and so on for 2023. Good year for gaming.

hahaha i knew there would be another before i go to sleep lol

Rofl at 0:44 perfectly explains why i refuse to play bullet sponge simulatots

9:25 *inside futuristic space bank* Ikea dressers....

Game of the Year candidate. :D

It’s a Bethesda game can’t really expect too much in the way of immersion

STARFLOP 😂

Yo is that snake.

I feel bad for all of the poor people that paid for this. I remember how I felt after battlefield 2042 came out...

I would actually like an explanation of how all these planets became habitable by humans 🤔🤔🤔

This is the same dude that still swears by Diablo 4😂

It's so bad, it's hilarious.

sadly I can but agree with you on this one. guess it is back to skyrim for me.

Baldurs Gate 3 ticks the emersion boxes for me, I highly recommend it if you haven't checked it out already. It's a different game style of course but if you're looking for a good narrative that is actually based of your interactions, it's top tier. It's not perfect but it's the closest I've seen in a long time.

5:88 funniest clip

Kleptomania: The Game.

The stupid travelling to six star systems to get to the one you want for a quest is just… Idiocy. if the game had actual space travel and once you discovered a star system you could fast travel there, and you found stuff on the way to your objective wouldve been so much more immersive, just like every other bethesda game.

Gonna wait for overhaul mods.

4:39 wtf ??????????

Defenders of this game cope so bad. Bethesda had a decade to make their worst game yet

LMFAO this game just keeps getting "better"

ive watched 3 of your vids on starfield and you still dont know how the persuasion works lol

F for elder scrolls 6 killed me hype
